Steam is offering strategy fans a chance to try Company of Heroes 3 at no cost. Relic Entertainment's World War II real-time strategy game is temporarily free to play on PC via Steam, giving players four days to test out its campaigns and multiplayer modes before deciding whether to make a purchase.
Quick Facts
- Platform: PC (via Steam)
- Offer Type: Temporary free trial and subsequent discount (ownership requires purchase)
- Free Trial Deadline: Monday, Nov. 16, at 10 a.m. PST
- Discount: 67% off for a few more days after the trial ends
- Developer: Relic Entertainment
What's Included in the Trial
Released in February 2023, Company of Heroes 3 takes place in the Mediterranean theater of World War II. The title features two single-player campaigns set across North Africa and Italy. The Italian campaign includes a dynamic map that gives players greater freedom in approaching the conflict, alongside traditional base construction, resource management, and unit command mechanics.
The free weekend promotion also follows the recent release of the major 3.0 update, which launched on November 5 as part of the franchise's 20th anniversary celebrations. Alongside the single-player content, the game includes competitive multiplayer and cooperative modes with multiple factions, each equipped with distinct units and tactical options suited for methodical strategy play.
Who This Offer Is For
This promotion is primarily useful for strategy fans who want to test out the Mediterranean theater campaigns or try out the multiplayer factions before committing to a purchase. Because it is a temporary trial rather than a free-to-keep giveaway, progress made during the four-day window requires buying the base game to continue past the November 16 deadline. Players who decide to stick with the game after the trial period can take advantage of the 67% discount running for a few additional days on Steam.
